Heya~ recently I joined a small Japanese learning group on Facebook, and we agreed to use Genki as main material. However, I can’t own the book cuz I’m a broke soon-to-be uni student. I’m grateful enough that my mom is willing to pay my yearly WK subcription (* ´∀`*) I’m afraid if I’m gonna be a …

No one has mentioned BunPro yet? IMO the best website for learning Japanese grammar. It’s not completely free though, you have a free 1 month trial that gives you everything the site has to offer, after the trial month has passed, you can still use the website, but in its “lite” form. Blockquote…

I used Tae Kim’s guide, which is really well organised and includes a lot of basic grammar for JLPT5 to 1. I learned all of my Japanese grammar from it, and I’m able to read articles on NHK Easy etc.

I use BunPro for drills, but one won’t really learn without studying grammar a bit more comprehensively and in context. The site links to good explanations, such as Tae Kim’s, which have been mentioned.

Oh I’m currently using Bunpro too~ forgot to add that lmao

Frankly, I’d just find a used copy of an older edition of Genki. I think I got Genki 1 in a previous printing in decent condition for like $20. Cheapest on ebay right now is $24, that really isn’t bad. [image] Genki 1 Text by Banno (2004, Trade Paperback) for sale online | eBay Find ma…

There was a thread here recently about free access to a Genki university course. Didn’t read it or try it, but thought I would link it in case its relevant: [image] Genki I with Kanji! (Lesson 3, MIT OCW) Resources Hello Again! ʕ•ٹ•ʔ I will be posting pieces of the Japan…

Ummm like I said, I don’t have that much money to buy anything that costs much… And $20 is pricey to me, especially with my country’s weakening currency and stuff but thanks tho (＾∇＾)

Since both, Tae Kim and Imabi were mentioned, I just wanted to bring up the old conflict between the two, which can i.a. be read here and here . Admittedly, on Reddit only the creator of Imabi seems to be defending his position. But, I think he has a point. As he mentioned here I’m not saying to comp…

Yikes, Reddit links (it’s blocked in my country). I might open those links later after I get a VPN installed on my phone tho

I know it goes against the forum rules so i won’t post anything that shouldn’t be posted But living in a third world country my whole life has made me a “caribbean” person :pirate_flag: The amount of things you can find for free just by looking them up is overwhelming. just saying

Any decent free resources as alternates for Genki?
